Dr. Strangelove

So Project 5 for vis comm was to design a DVD cover and back for the movie Dr. Strangelove. It was a very...strange movie. I don't really know how to verbalize it more than that. When I was little my mom would have me watch older movies like The Court Jester and Inspector General and even though Dr. Strangelove wasn't funny in the way that those movies are, it reminded me of them anyway.

When I was thinking about what to do for the cover and such I kept getting stuck on the fancy, wallpaper print sort of covers for books. Even though it has nothing to do with it, I think it's because we were supposed to design a "Criterion Collection" cover and for some reason that reminded me of simple wallpaper covers.

So that's why the covers are pretty simple with only black, white, red and grey as the colors. I kept going back to that plain cover those books had so that is what this DVD wound up with.
